Will the Asus package (VN) look good in portrait too?

:D Its nice to see you all taking this seriously :rolleyes:... I pretty much thought any card from the same family would work - Putting a second card in will reduce air flow and increase heat, so I will try and stick with a second Vapor-X as its running nice n' cool atm. Merry Christmas... even...

...problem still remains!

mmm... obviously shouldn't use the phrase 'seriously ****ed... ' as a title - :-)

Last year I bought a fairly high spec duel GFX capable mobo rig... and bought a Sapphire Vapor-X 7950 - so that when I wanted to upgrade and buy more monitors to give me an eyefinity gaming rig, I could buy another matching GFX card and upgrade. :o Oh, how wrong was I? My perfect solution...

Eulogy - I'm currently gaming at 1920x1200, on my Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X. I was looking for a more immersive experience so my choice is; Eyefinity, which has the 'bezel issue' - but I drive a car and see the world at high speed with the pillars either side of the windscreen without it...

I've been looking around ...thinking about dropping the complication of crossfire on 3xU2412M's in eyefinity and just changing my current monitor to a 2560 x 1080 Dell UltraSharp U2913WM on the existing GPU.

...or should I avoid the eyefinity 'bezel issue' and get a Dell UltraSharp U2913WM 29" Super-Widescreen LED Monitor instead? Cos the 7950 should support 2560 x 1080 without breaking sweat!

I have 1xDell U2412M and its running from a Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X; mobo (AsRock Z77 Extreme4) is crossfire (x8x8) capable. Monitor is fab and not giving me any gaming issues - but it also does a lot of admin too and was bought because I wanted portrait as well as horizontal viewing angles...

From what little info I have picked up, crossfire should work if you mix and match GPU setup (performance being dictated by the lowest specification - there is a table of which generation cards will interact in crossfire) but its stable/best achieved if the GPU's and bios are matched... hence...

I built up a gaming rig around the start of the year, its not a bad little gaming rig with an SSD boot drive and lots of ram with the 7950 Vapor-X. Its sat in a slot on my AsRock Z77 Extreme 4 (With an i5 3570k) and powering a Dell UltraSharp U2412M. I certainly couldn't see the point of going...

I have the Sapphire VX - Leave the bios button alone (850/1250) and it will clock and MSI afterburner will adjust the VDDC - If you press the bios button to 950/1250 it will lock the voltage and clock very poorly... Mine is currently 1170/1500 with 1140mV but its a bit toasty at 69Deg on a long run.

well... tbh I should be thinking about returning it... cos it aint getting better with time...

ho ho ho...

I've pushed the SappireVX tonight... bench on HeavenDX11 as before; VDDC 1140mv @ 1170/1500 gives a stable HeavenDX11 bench of 72.9/1839 at 1920x1200 with 4XAA, normal teselation but the fan noise is growing and I'm hitting 70 deg - Rig has been on for several hours with a restart on GPU-z...

...not if you play the silcon lottery with a Sapphire 7950VX, by my experience :rolleyes:

As I come from a Skt 939 setup with a pair of 9600GSOxxx SLI my new rig rocks... but the Sapphire VX was a last minute switch 'up', as stock vanished on the Sapphire 7950 OC which I had spent a few hours (or maybe a week or two) researching. All I can say is that the VX is not living up to...

I'm not sure I want to be doing that just yet, having spent the cash on a 7950... and a Z77 Extreme 4, I5 3750k, Custom cooler, 16Gb Ram, 120Gb SSD, 1Tb WD Black, Haf 912+ and a nice set of case fans :eek: ....cos I can't afford anything else in the next few months if I screw it up :p

I have had some success with the 850/1250 bios setting and MSI Afterburner. I bench Heaven (3.0) DX11 @1920x1200, 4xAA, Anistropy 4x and Teselation;normal Stock the 7950 gives 56.7fps/1429 As soon as I press the 950/1250 bios setting then the voltage seems to lock and even a mild OC of...

Plenty of go juice :) 550W Fatal1ty Power Supply with an additional 250W Thermaltake Power Express SLI Certified PSU - The VapourX was connected with a 8 Pin to the main PSU and the 6 Pin to the Thermaltake, but after having poor results, I've connected both to the Fatal1ty with similar results...
